Chapter 1275: Chapter 32: The Emperor Turned into a Dog
Speaking of the Imperial Concubine’s dual nature, the persona she presents in front of people was actually specially coached by Cao the Scholar, while her true nature is wild and vulgar behind the scenes.
Hearing the two talk so casually about deciding the Emperor’s harem, the Emperor truly felt like kicking them in the face.
And that’s exactly what he did, sticking out his two feet, as he huffed and puffed, kicking their faces.
"Father, why do I suddenly feel a cool breeze on my face?" General Cao touched his face and asked with confusion, "Is the door not properly closed?"
"I feel it too. Perhaps the door isn’t shut well, and there’s a draft blowing in." Cao the Scholar replied offhandedly.
Infuriating!
These two ambitious scoundrels, just wait for me!
The Emperor angrily floated away, drifting to Prince De’s mansion, where he saw Prince De having a late-night snack again. And the twelfth brother, Prince Ping, was there too. The title of "Ping" given to him clearly showed the Emperor’s intentions—wanting him to be a mediocre prince, not to think too much, just eat and wait for death. But that was the Emperor’s thinking in the past; now the Emperor felt, why not employ these brothers who can do things? Previously, he gave them stipends, raising them for nothing, spending his days in suspicion and fatigue. Now, they can’t be raised for free anymore. Letting them work gives him peace of mind. It’s a win-win!
"This small glutinous rice ball is delicious; give me another bowl." Prince Ping said, holding the bowl to Prince De’s housekeeper.
"Eat, eat, eat, you’re eating so much at night, aren’t you afraid you’ll turn round and plump?" Prince De said irritably, "That’s your fourth bowl."
"You need to be full to work, you know. With so many memorials, if I don’t help you look at them, when will you finish?" Prince Ping said confidently.
"Then eat, eat more, I’ll leave all of them to you." Prince De waved his hand speechlessly, "Housekeeper, go, bring some more over."
"No need, I’ll just eat one more bowl." Prince Ping shook his head, then pondered, "What’s going on with the Emperor recently? He used to give us idle posts, and when we went to court, he always found something displeasing here or there. I used to want to shrink back so he wouldn’t see me. Now he’s actually having us help with governance; isn’t this unbelievable?"
"I don’t know, but I feel like the Emperor’s been changing a lot recently, though I think it’s a good change." Prince De put down his bowl and stretched, "The only downside is having a bit too much to do."
"Better than being idle and constantly suspected." Prince Ping continued eating with his bowl, "You look first, I’ll start looking once I finish this bowl."
Watching his two brothers diligently helping handle governmental affairs, the Emperor felt very comforted. The heart wounded by the Cao Family was slightly soothed at this moment, knowing his brothers were very obedient. He decided to cherish them well in the future.
The Emperor floated back to the Imperial Palace. Everyone had gone to sleep, so there wasn’t anything to eavesdrop on. He naturally floated towards his happy body, but this time he couldn’t get in.
Hmm?
The Emperor paused, then full of hope, floated towards his own body.
Huh? Got in!
When the Emperor sat up in bed, he wore a face full of joy.
The time he spent as a ghost is getting shorter!
The Emperor dawdled for a while before he fell into a deep sleep.
Waking up early the next morning, he found himself still in his own body, happily jumping out of bed, spinning in circles, without even wearing shoes.
When attending court, the Emperor saw the faces of the Cao father and son, and wished he could command them to be dragged down for severe questioning. But rashly doing so without evidence was impossible.
